HMC244AG16

RF Switches Overview

The HMC244AG16 is a GaAs MMIC SP4T non-reflective RF switch designed for broadband applications up to 4 GHz. It operates with a single 5V supply and features low insertion loss of 1.2 dB and high isolation of 28 dB. The device supports frequencies from DC to 4000 MHz, draws operating currents of 3 mA and 7 mA, and is housed in a 16-pin surface-mount package suitable for radar and wireless systems.

RF Switches Feature Summary

• Non-reflective SP4T architecture minimizes signal reflection across the band
• GaAs MMIC technology enables broadband performance up to 4 GHz
• Single 5V power supply simplifies integration into existing circuits

RF Switches Applications

• Radar systems requiring reliable switching at microwave frequencies
• Wireless communication infrastructure components
• Test and measurement equipment needing low-loss signal routing

RF Switches Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check current availability as supply may be limited. Ensure proper ESD handling during storage and installation to maintain device integrity.

RF Switches Selection Notes

Select this component when non-reflective switching is critical to system VSWR requirements. Consider the 5V supply constraint and 16-pin SMT footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Evaluate insertion loss and isolation specs against link budget needs for frequencies up to 4 GHz.

RF Switches Part Context
